Phase 2 of Flood Mitigation Project to Begin in June
The rainy season seems already to be upon us. That usually means increased flooding in low lying areas of Belize City. The Ministry of Infrastructure Development and Housing is working to alleviate this problem on the south side through a twenty-million-dollar loan secured from the Inter-American Development Bank back in 2018. According to Belize City Mayor Bernard Wagner, works to address drainage in the flood prone areas of the city began under the previous administration and a “Protective Work Package Two” will begin in June. Chief Engineer at the Ministry of Infrastructure Development provided details today.
